From time to time, I have experienced some sort of corruptions to my Windows taskbar. Sometimes it is due to viruses messing it up while sometimes it is because I have played too much with it. Right now, my taskbar looks like this.

The most difficult part is adjusting it back to its default layout. How can I easily restore it to default look?

It is actually quite easy because I have found a script on the Internet that will do this for you in just a couple seconds. The script is written by Kelly Theriot and Doug Knox. You can find it on their website. On their website, you can download the script with the link that says “Restore Taskbar to Default Functionality”. After saving it to your computer, you can double-click it to run it. Right away, your taskbar is restored to default.

There are also many other useful scripts and registry tweaks on their website. You should bookmark their site as you will probably find other scripts that solves your other problems.
